Survey Tasks

Survey Tasks are listed in line with each of your surveys. These tasks allow you to access different aspects of the survey directly from the My Surveys tab.

Survey Tasks:

Activate/Deactivate: Toggle the selected survey on and off. When a survey is active (noted by a green checkmark by the survey name), it is open to collecting responses.

Edit: Navigate to the Edit Survey tab and make changes to the survey.

Results: Navigate to the View Results tab and view data from the survey.

Send: Navigate to the Distribute Survey tab and distribute the survey.

Copy: Make a copy of the selected survey. You can copy to three locations:

My Account or Group Account: Copy the survey to your account or a group account. This is useful when you or someone in one of your groups wants to work on a copy of the survey.

Library: Copy the survey to a personal or group library. This is appropriate when you would like to archive a copy of your survey for future reference.

Another User Account: Copy the survey to another user’s account. This is appropriate when you want to create a copy of the survey to be housed in another user’s account.

FYI: When you copy a survey you copy more than just the questions on the survey. You also copy survey flow elements, quotas, survey options, look & Feel settings, etc. For example: if a survey has a partial completion date of 1 week set, and that survey is copied, the new survey created as a copy will also have a 1 week partial completion date.

Delete: Delete your survey. Deleted surveys cannot be recovered, so you will be asked to confirm this decision.

Qtip: To sort your surveys, click one of the column headers. Click Name to sort alphabetically, Active to sort based on whether or not a survey is active, or Responses to sort by number of survey responses.
